Halloween

Halloween was so much fun. It felt like it went on for days! To kick it off, Mama, Dada, Ruby and I went to the zoo - they had special games, a costume contest and trick or treating. All the kids were dressed in their finest - as was I, in my excellent lion costume, complete with terrifying ROOOOAAARRR's. Ruby went as a cute little kitten. My friend Aly was also there - she came dressed as Dorothy - I guess from some movie.

Then Hurricane Sandy hit, and we had to stay inside for a few days. We had our flashlights ready, and I loved wasting the power on them by leaving them on, much to Dada's chagrin. But lucky for us, we didn't lose power so I could sit comfortably on the sofa and watch Cars to my heart's content.

The weather cleared up in time for some trick or treating a few days later. We went to my friend Axel's house. I vaguely remember this from last year, but it still blew my mind - we knocked on people's doors and they just handed us candy! Just giving it away! Crazy. As soon as I would get a piece of candy I would immediately try to pop it in my mouth. They didn't taste so great because they were wrapped in plastic, so I would make Mama open them for me.

That night I got to eat pizza and candy and stay up late. I didn't want to take my costume off, it was so much fun. But also pretty exhausting!
